I have been watching Junior Taskmaster which is a hoot. We watched the 2-parter "The Colour of Magic" via Britbox which we missed when it came out, plus the Hogfather miniseries. All highly recommended.

I'm reading The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury and ... wow, it's a product of its time (late 1940s). it's very good, brilliant at times, but I frequently got tired of the Earth Men and had to put it down for a bit. Just before that I read Machine Vendetta by Alastair Reynolds (third book in a trilogy), highly recommend.

I finally joined the local library so I've been reading some fiction I wouldn't normally pick up. Someone had recommended the Louis L'Amour westerns; I picked up a random on (The High Graders) and I didn't really care for it. I finished it, but I don't think I'll go back for more. I read Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler which was very good, if a bit too on the nose for our current dystopia.
